It it time to put the practice of categorical "significance" behind us and educate our students better about what statistical tests measure and mean. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

We are recruiting older adults who would like to help us build helpful and engaging robots. We'd like to build long-term relationship with you as design partners. Whether you're local (Massachusetts) or not, please contact @anastasiaostrow to get started!
We are working with older adults (70 ) to design social robots. Engage in interviews, living with a robot, prototyping, artwork, & design guidelines. No robot experience required—only a desire to explore! Learn more from @anastasiaostrow or here: bit.ly/prgstudy

I'll be attending! When I first met @robohaewon she was working on how children could teach robots for her PhD work. It totally shifted my idea of the impact robots could have. So honored to have her as a mentor :)
Do robots need socio-emotive intelligence? PRG Research Scientist Hae Won Park @robohaewon is speaking at the MIT Robotics Seminar. Come by Stata 32-D463 at 2pm to be inspired by her brilliant work.

Music and Robots. Happy to see #Shimi getting a decent update. Looking forward to @gilweinberg's keynote at #HRI19
This robot "speaks" using bleeps and bloops that are generated by a deep learning algorithm and a vocabulary based on the Australian aboriginal language Yuwaalaraay. buff.ly/2TChIxC

Ah, finally, the future is here!! Waymo is launching a robo-taxi service! But, but, there are only 400 people eligible to use it, and there is a human safety driver in every vehicle. Oh. Hmm. Way mo' waiting for that future... wired.com/story/waymo-self-d…
